movies...
here are a couple of the movies i have seen recently. tell me what you think!!
War of the Worlds- horrible. the movie covered nothing new. i read the book back in high school and just loved the way it dealt with the unknown. this movie just went nowhere. tom cruise needs to disappear for a while.
Batman Begins- excellent. being a collector of the comics for years i really love how the line between a vigilante's deeds being good and bad is always blurred. in the dark knight series it really dealt beautifully with this...and i never thought the movies would really get a hold of this. THIS ONE DID. is liam's character really bad? was it about the over all good? where is the line between good and evil in reforming an evil city? c-nolan of Momento is an excellent choice for this and i just can't say enough about his writing and directing style!
Rize- this is one i am sure most of you have not heard about. very interesting. kie wanted to see it for the hip hop and dancing...(we had heard about it on charlie rose), but where amazed by the documentary's honesty and clarity in showing the need for hope in south-central LA. very unabashedly showing how only the hope of christ infused into a culture can break it free from what has bound it for so long. make sure you see this one...even if you aren't into hip hop and dancing!
Millions- this is an excellent movie about a child like search to understand life and death. what it means to be good and bad...and seeing a pure and honest child in our world! some great scenes graphically (reminiscent of the "ikea" scene in fight club and fabulous interaction with the saints of history.
mad hot ballroom- this is another fun documentary about a group of kids competing to have the best ballroom class in NYC...quite entertaining and fun. interesting how it is shown both from the teacher's point of view and the children's. i just remember back in grade school we had to square dance and man did we hate it!! this movie was reminiscent of spellbound another documentary, but about a group of kids in the national spelling bee.
